• Develop, implement, and oversee CVA strategies, policies, and operational guidelines.
• Build and strengthen the capacity of WVU staff and local partners in CVA design, implementation, monitoring, and evaluation.
• Ensure CVA programmes are effectively integrated with other key sectors like food security, protection, and WASH.
• Lead assessments and analysis to inform programme design and ensure accurate targeting of beneficiaries.
• Oversee project design, implementation, and monitoring, ensuring compliance with donor requirements (e.g., USAID, ECHO, WFP), Sphere standards, and internal policies.
• Develop, manage, and monitor budgets for CVA programmes and prepare high-quality reports for donors and stakeholders.
• Represent WVU in national coordination forums such as the Uganda Cash Working Group.
• Foster strategic partnerships with government ministries, UN agencies, NGOs, and the private sector.
• Promote innovation, learning, and accountability within CVA programming.

• Substantial experience working with major institutional donors like USAID, ECHO, WFP, and UNICEF.
• Excellent leadership, communication, and interpersonal skills, with the ability to work effectively in a cross-cultural and multi-faith environment.
